Chapter 234: This Cillin Guy is a Master of Secrets [Part 1] (2/2)
Goryeo put away his gun after the fourth shot was fired. He dismantled the gun and put the parts back into the box.
He knew very well that there was no longer any need to shoot at Cillin. After all Purgatory’s Thunder Snake wasn’t invincible, and he was utterly impressed by Cillin’s ability to calculate Purgatory Thunder Snake’s trajectory to this extent.
The reason Goryeo could calculate the bullet’s trajectory was because he was familiar with the weapon. But what about Cillin?
First, Cillin had recreated the bullet’s shape in his head by examining its initial trajectory after it exited its chamber. Then, he deduced its future trajectory from the data.
If this was a math problem in class, then there were countless people in AF1 who could came up with the right answer. But this was real combat, and the amount of time he had to perform the calculation was only an instant.
What is the shape of this guy’s brain?! Is he a human computer or something?!
Goryeo had always thought that he had a good head on his shoulders and strong calculation abilities, but compared to Cillin it was seriously poor.
After he was done putting away his gun, Goryeo gave Requiem a helpless shrug. “This guy is too strong. No wonder Mrs. Griffin think so highly of him.”
Seeing that Goryeo had put away his weapon, Puno too decided to cease all offense. He pressed the places he was struck by Cillin; it would appear that his injuries were more serious than normal this time.
As Puno rubbed his wounds with his hand, the cracked bones inside his body began to recover slowly.
Bel and Gen Xingming relaxed after seeing that the signs of withdrawal. However, when Puno accidentally dropped a lapel badge while he was rubbing his wounds, Bel and Gen Xingming immediately tensed up again.
Puno hastily picked up the lapel badge he dropped, blew at its surface and gave it a wipe. He then gave the others an honest smile before putting it away carefully like he was holding a treasure.
Zanny, Bie Yao and the others didn’t react too much when they saw his lapel badge. They had their own lapel badge, and it was the source of their pride. It was a badge that earned them respect from the army even though they didn’t hold a military post themselves.
Dwei had also noticed the picture on the lapel badge through the night vision equipment in her cornea. As a result, the hand she used to wield her butterfly knife shook as a result.
“Wings!”
Wings was a special section in Mist Bodhisattva Empire. The lapel badge of “Wings” had a signature image: a pair of wings surrounding Mist Bodhisattva Empire’s national emblem at the center. Mist Bodhisattva Empire’s national emblem had a wing each on two sides. One wing was adorned with the Royal Guards’ emblem, and the other wing was adorned with the Imperial Guards’ emblem.
Although Wings’ lapel badge contained the emblem of both imperial armies, they were in fact an independent organization. Wings had an extraordinary amount of authoritative power, and they could receive their appointments directly from the Mist Bodhisattva Emperor. This meant that their final leader was the Mist Bodhisattva Emperor themselves, and they were also the only section that dared to kill a noble directly under the special authorization granted by the Mist Bodhisattva Emperor.
There were many noble descendants who were beaten up or killed by the members of Wings because they broke the empire’s laws. That was why the first reaction of any noble descendant upon witnessing a Wings member was to have a guilty conscience. After all, who didn’t commit at least one offense in their life?
Before this revelation, Bel and Gen Xingming only thought that they were AF1 and AF2 students. That was why they felt uncomfortable at worst, and they didn’t think that they would cause too much trouble. But now they couldn’t be sure. After all, who knows what kind of order these people had received, and who knows if these people might accidentally injure or kill them while performing their mission?
It wasn’t that Bel or Gen Xingming were cowards. As direct descendants of the royal family, they should’ve been as afraid as they were towards Wings. Unfortunately, Bel and Gen Xingming had never been good eggs since young, so they did all they should and shouldn’t do throughout their lives. It was one thing if their fathers were here right now, but without the kings to back them up the duo were obviously lacking in confidence.
Since when were this bastards recruited by Wings?! And how was there no news about it at all?!
Bel and Gen Xingming couldn’t really be blamed for not knowing though. If they were hanging around in the imperial capital, they could’ve found this information easily if they looked into it. Unfortunately for them, they had left the imperial capital for quite some time already, so they were unfamiliar with the recent activities at AF1 and AF2.
Zanny was feeling very pleased. After seeing that the two princes, Bel and Gen Xingming were intimidated by the badge, he flapped his wings to show off his existence. “Ahem, Puno, you should store your lapel badge safely!”
“Of course. It was just an accident.” Puno really had no intentions of showing off. He began rubbing his wounds again after he put away the lapel badge.
Zanny cast a glance at the wary looking trio - Bel, Gen Xingming and Dwei - and was prepared to show off for a little longer. However, he noticed that Cillin was looking at him, so he turned to look at him and said, “What are you looking at, man? I know I’m very handsome; you haven’t seen someone with actual wings before, have you? What can I do, my talents are so good that people always get jealous because of it…”
Bie Yao and Inov had gotten used to Zanny’s attitude since a long time ago, so they skipped even the usual eye rolling and looked straight at Cillin.
“Cillin, is it? Our head wants to tell you that…”
Cillin moved before Bie Yao could finish his sentence.
Although Puno was rubbing the wounds on his body, he had never left his attention from Cillin. Therefore, he noticed Cillin’s sudden movements and open intent to use his blade right away. Cillin’s target was none other than the jabbering Zanny!
Puno instantly awakened his full power and exerted strength into his legs. A hole appeared beneath his feet before he ran towards Cillin.
Bie Yao also threw an extremely fast kick at Cillin.
Right now, Puno was the closest to Cillin, and Bie Yao was just slightly far away from him. However, none of them was as far away from Zanny as Cillin was.
Although Cillin was the farthest person from Zanny, he managed to dodge Puno’s punch, evade Bie Yao’s kick, block Inov’s fist and finally stab Zanny right in the stomach.
Zanny was going to show off a little more before the two princes when a terrific sense of danger suddenly assault him. But before he could react in time, a cold feeling entered his stomach as a terrible chill spread throughout his whole body. Zanny felt great regret; his carelessness had caused him to suffer an ambush that should’ve been very easy to dodge! For a second, Zanny thought that he had tasted death.
On the skyscraper, neither Requiem nor Goryeo imagined that Cillin would be so audacious as to assault a Wings member!
Everyone who saw this scene including Bel, Gen Xingming, Dwei and the Vogel and Gen Family bodyguards secretly observing the scene felt that their heads were about to explode.
Bel and Gen Xingming felt like fainting on the spot. Did he seriously just attack a Wings member with a blade?! The only ones who dared to do so would be suicidal maniacs and their direct superior, but Cillin didn’t look like a suicidal maniac, and he definitely wasn’t a member of Wings. So why on earth did he stab Zanny? Although Zanny definitely deserved a slap for his annoying mouth, he still shouldn’t have stabbed him directly like this!
Bel looked at Gen Xingming: Oh shit, Cillin must not know about Wings, or he would have never dared to stab him. Now whadda we do? Whadda we do??
